The process of designing the scorecard helps you nail down the key outcomes and avoid lack of focus, inconsistent objectives, hidden costs, indifferent service and deteriorating relationships with your contract partners.

It offers a systematic guide based on practical advice and examples; one that explains the Contract Scorecard concept and demonstrates crucial implementation activities such as: The development of performance measures that work. Sound Service Level Agreements that make obligations clear. A Governance Charter that ensures both parties will adopt successful management techniques."--Cover.
